Walpyrgus, Fleshtorn, Agony Divine, Dark Design

When: Sat., Nov. 29, 9 p.m. 2014

Raleigh’s Walpyrgus celebrates the release of a self-titled three-song EP, out via the Greek label No Remorse Records. The EP displays the band’s melodic, polished mix of Judas Priest and Famous Monsters-era Misfits with stories of murder, witchcraft and supernatural beings. Arrive early for Fleshtorn, the potent death metal alias of Zebulon teenager Brannan Hayes, who performs as a one-man band. Trad-metal staples Agony Divine and Dark Design round out the bill. —Bryan C. Reed
